Matt and I received our information packet for an adoption organization we think we’re going to go with. We were talking in depth about it while Ava was napping. Even watched an amazing DVD on the subject. It was touching. After about thirty minutes of adoption prep talk, Matt decided to wake up Ava from her nap and I started getting dinner ready for our picnic at the park. After they came downstairs, while I was preparing sandwiches, I could see them talking and overheard Matt tenderly speaking blessings over our Ava. And then Ava dropped a bombshell! It showed me how life is so comical… even in the midst of these major decisions. This is what I heard:
Matt was stroking Ava’s hair as he began saying these tender words…
“Ava, I just KNOW that you will be an amazing older sister. I know that you will be a big sister who shares. Someone who will watch out for your little sister and play so well together. You’re just ready to be a big sister and we want that for you...”
Ava interrupts: “Ewwwwww… poooopies, Daddy.”
We both start laughing.
“Ava… do you have poopies in your diaper?”
“Nooo… Ava POOOOPIES.”
“O.k. So you wanna go poopies?”
“Mmm Hhmmm. AVA pooopies.”
SIGH. So we’ll get back to that tender moment later. Nature calls.
